Minimalist Bible

March 7, 2014

There are many of us who have probably never picked up a bible, let alone read the various books within it. But the history and legend of the 66 books contained in the Bible are significant, and Pastor and graphic designer Joseph Novak has taken on the task of visually distilling each chapter into a single, beautiful poster. Pretty cool project, even for the uninitiated.

Via FastCo Design: Many of his posters broadly represent plot: the Book of Lamentations, for example, shows the destruction of Jerusalem reflecting in the pupil of an eye.
